Learning Japanese Online
If you want to know how to learn Japanese then you are in the right place. In this article I am going to introduce some simple Japanese sentences that you can start practicing with.
To kick things off let’s have a look at how to ask for something. Let’s take the example of asking if someone has coffee. To say this in Japanese you say: “koohii ga arimasu ka”, however often you can drop the ‘ga’ and simply say ‘koohii arimasu ka’.
Here the verb ‘have’ is the word ‘arimasu’ and is used only for objects and not people or animals.
If you want to ask ‘are there dogs?’ for example you would say ‘inu imasu ka’ where we replace the verb arimasu for imasu.
When you learn Japanese its important to understand that there are different verb forms such as ichidan and godan verbs and we have to change them or ‘conjugate’ them when used in different circumstances. I learn Japanese online and some of the better online courses teach all about Japanese verbs in their grammar lessons.
Another important thing to learn is that when you are discussing places in Japanese you use different words depending on what location to the speaker they are. For example if the place is near the person who is speaking then you would say ‘koko’, or if it is near the person listening you would say ’soko’ and if the place is far from both people you would say ‘asoko’.
Finally you may want to start learning some Japanese words to grow your vocabulary, so below I have listed some body parts for you:
ear - mimi
mouth - kuchi
head - atama
nose - hana
arm - ude
stomach - onaka
foot - ashi
eye - me
hand -te
leg - ashi
